Again... I WAS BEING SARCASTIC!
This denomination-centric stuff is ridiculous and I was subtly pointing out that all Christians, of course, believe in the Last Supper.
“No really, the Catholics invented the whole idea of the Last Supper just after they faked the moon landings.”
And we invented the earth and stars as a warm-up!
If someone need something to "connect" with God with, He tells us to meditate on His word. So to help them through the day, might I suggest putting Bible memory verses in their wallet.
Psa_119:11 I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Excellent advice.
Also: I recommend a picture of Christ. Or a crucifix, to connect us with His sorrowful passion.
The Cathedral in Valencia says it has the Holy Grail. Visited my daughter and went to see it. Unfortunately, at the time I was having sight problems, and didn’t get a real good look.
“Now whether this is the actual table cloth...who know and who cares.”
I think Erasmus had it right about relics.
We run into all kinds here at FR. The /s symbol is always a help. ;o)
Now whether this is the actual table cloth...who know and who cares.
I’m sure many historians and anthropologists find this to be of great interest.
Thanks. :). Will try to remember the sarc tag next time. I assumed most would figure it out from the “tone”. Arrrrgh!

Thanks for the ping!
I never considered a tablecloth before and found this interesting.
I wonder if Joseph of Arimanthea could have been the owner of the room where the Last Supper was held.
Thanks for the interesting ping.
What a beautiful post. Thank you.
Well, that photo right there settles it. There’s the Christ, and there’s the table cloth./s
Thanks for the ping. I had not heard of this cloth before.
Here’s your answer. NO.
Jesus was a poor man who along with his band of apostles traveled the region with nothing but the clothes on their backs. He sent apostles to find the man holding the donkey and to tell them the Master needs his room that night.
I doubt they brought along a formal table cloth.
Being poor, a hand woven item like a tablecloth would have been a massive luxury for nearly anyone except the very rich, or perhaps the Pharisees and corrupt priests of the day (pretty much all of them)
Speculation of an item like this is nuts and does not mesh with Scripture.
Did they have red cabbage back then? It always leaves bluish purple stains on the cutting board. This blog, if you scroll all the way down, shows a tablecloth dyed blue from red cabbage:

What other purpose can you conceive of for a fine linen cloth that long and wide? It would be excellent for covering a trencher (archaic for long table) length table. Other wise, there's not much other use I can think of.
